Abstract: Energy and environment are critical issues for the sustainable development of our modern society. Renewable energy will play an increasingly important role in addressing our energy and environmental needs. In particular, solar electricity generated by photovoltaic technology will fulfill our demand on electricity and hydrogen produced through water splitting by photochemical technology may replace fossil fuel for transportation in the future. In this presentation, I will first describe how solar energy can be used to tackle the energy and environmental problems, and then share our research progress in Cu(InGa)Se2 thin film photovoltaic solar cells and CdSe/TiO2 photochemical cells.
